The sequel to Konami's vampire-based 3D action-adventure will show at next month's E3.

Nintendo confirmed today that a sequel to Konami's popular Castlevania for Nintendo 64 is in the works and, in fact, will be announced at next month's Electronics Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Little is known about the KCEK-developed sequel, though one Nintendo source suggested that the title would be at the show. Given the turn-around time for the product -- less than a year -- it seems logical to assume that the game could arrive in one of two forms: A classic 2D side-scroller reminiscent of Konami's Goemon franchise, or another 3D adventure running on the same base game-engine as the original with a look and feel very similar. It will be interesting to observe which route Konami takes with the popular vampire-based franchise.

IGN64 will have more as the story breaks.
